Before Chrissy Teigen was a Legend, Mrs. John Legend, was a Hooters girl. Today, she tried on her uniform, and it still fits her. Well, maybe not in the butt area. Butt everywhere else it did. However, if she served wings wearing that, she would make a lot of tips.
I bet you thought that no one ever says no to Oprah Winfrey, but Meghan Markle did. You see, before the actress became a Duchess, Winfrey asked her for a sitdown interview, but Buckingham Palace would not let her do it. In fact, Markle says that there were people listening to their telephone conversation to make sure that she turned down the offer.
Why did she say yes now? “Well, so many things. That we’re on the other side of a lot of…a lot of life experience that’s happened,” Markle told Oprah. “And also that we have the ability to make our own choices in a way that I couldn’t have said yes to you then. That wasn’t my choice to make. So, as an adult who lived a really independent life to then go into this construct that is…different than I think what people imagine it to be, it’s really liberating to be able to have the right and the privilege in some ways to be able to say yes.”
The rest of their unrestricted, 2-hour chat will air Sunday at 8p on CBS.
Be prepared for Markle to claim to be the victim. She isn’t. I bet you she wears the pants in their marriage, and Harry has to do whatever she says. I feel for him. I am sure he wanted a change, but I don’t think he wanted all of this. Hopefully, his family will take him back with open arms after he gets divorced. We all know they are going to get one eventually.
It would be nice if they could live happily ever after, but that only happens in fairy tales.
EXCLUSIVE: Hit series @PoseOnFX will end after season 3. Its final season will air on May 2, series creator tells @GMA: “We have told this story that we wanted to tell the way that we wanted to tell it.”https://t.co/Z6H7eTKwjVpic.twitter.com/AUsk5v7655
Pose creator Steven Canals had some big news to share about his FX drama today on Good Morning America. The good news is that the show will debut its third season on May 2nd. The bad news is that these seven episodes will be the show’s last ones.
“It was a very difficult decision for us to make, but this has been an incredible journey and we have told the story that we wanted to tell the way that we wanted to tell it,” Canals told “GMA. “Although we know you’ll be sad to see the show go, this season will be filled with all of the love and laughter and tears that you have come to expect from the Evangelista family.”
This season will take place in 1994. Pray Tell (Billy Porter) will be having health issues. I have a feeling the series will end with his death from AIDS.
Let’s just hope it is not the death of Porter’s career and someone snatches him up ASAP. Our TV’s need his sparkle. We also need Pose’s sparkle, but that is no longer happening after June 6th.
Women define themselves by their hair. That is why there are so many stores and products dedicated to making her locks look the best they can be. For African-American women, it is not as easy. So many of them do not know how to feel comfortable in their own hair. Dr. Boogie is going to show them what they can do to let their hair shine through like their beautiful spirits, that they have been suppressing, on ALLBLK’s My Mane Problem.
By day, Dr. Boogie is a hairstylist to the stars. When he is not doing that, he is a shining star to so many women. He sits African-American women down, talks to them, and finds out why they hide and hate their natural hair. He wants to know why they are hiding their locks under wigs, weaves, and whatever else they can find. There are so many different reasons why they let their hair go. It could be things like depression, family issues, sickness, trying to fit in the White world, and so much more.
He talks to them. He gets to knows them. Some of these women have not shown their real hair to their loved ones or let them run their fingers through it. They might not have let anyone see their real hair in over a decade. Now, they are not only exposing their hair to him; they are also exposing their innermost thoughts and feelings to him.
“When you can actually talk to someone like myself as a hairstylist, I’ve talked to 1000s and 1000s of women. They let go and talk about these things without being judged,” Dr. Boogie said to me. “I want to dig back in and find out when did you let yourself go? What did you give up? I’m not a licensed therapist, lo and behold. But anybody who knows hairdressers, they know one person that they talk to, who’s the main confidant that is, is the hairdresser.”
While a therapist can work on someone’s inside, he is working on both the inside and the outside at the same time. As they tell him their story, he is going over the damage that has been done to their hair. He explains to them that the glue, the ponytail holders, the chemicals they use, and so many other things are what is damaging their hair. He explains to them what they unknowingly did wrong and how to fix it. Almost all of the time, he is finding out their real hair can be saved. These women covered up their manes, and now they are finding out their hair is salvageable. He works his magic to give them a new look with what they came in with to him.
But they are not leaving the same person. They are transformed from their heads to their toes and everywhere in between. The unhappy woman, who came in to see him, is leaving a strong, confident person.
“I got into the hair business because I love to turn a woman around, let her look in the mirror. And more than anything, the smile that she would put on her face. For me, giving her that smile just gives me so much great joy.” he said with happiness in his voice.
He learned this talent as a child. He did not have the happiest of upbringings. When his parents would fight, he would go over to his mom, comb her hair and make her feel better. He noticed that this would soothe her, and that is how Dr. Boogie was born.
Now, he is doing the same for women all over. Every Thursday on My Mane Problem, he is talking to two women, and he is giving them back their joy, one transformative hairstyle at a time. They come in with tears and leave with huge smiles.
The show is not exploitative. It is about a man who is all about making someone feel better about themselves the best way he knows how. He has a gift for giving people back something they never thought they could regain, their power to look in the mirror and love themselves. For that, I am thankful that ALLBLK is sharing it with us.
